I'm on Day 1 and terrified of relapse

Love it Rob, lol. I’m ok with the status of peasant, as long as u drag me upwards with ya! No plan. I realised that if I eat dinner early, I don’t crave drink at all. So will start with that.

How are you doing today Eva?
Welcome here!
A relapse is hard, but the good news is it has learned you some stuff.
I had a relapse after 5 years of sober time.
I thought I was cured and could drink in moderation again. That went well for a few weeks and then the amound of drinks went more. The winewitch was back in my head and never stops talking :flushed:
So I came here for help and quit again. Sober for 4,5 year now with the help of this app and the people in it.

This is the first and most important thing we both learned:
:arrow_down::arrow_down::arrow_down:
we can’t have just one, we are never “cured”

Another good news is:
You know what works for you!!
You did it before for 1 whole year so you can do that again. You know what you have to do ore do not, just do it. Give it your all :facepunch:

So welcome back to your sober life!
Keep us posted :raising_hand_woman:

Get sober to have a better life again. You can make further improvements that you didn’t get to make when you were sober for that year.

Glad you came back. You certainly have support here. Earlier today I made a primitive drawing of my Sober Wheel with 5 spokes on it. I suck at drawing so I’m glad my son just agreed to make me a better version. He is a fine artist,actually earns a living at it. Anyway I share this with you @Eva19 .You can do this if I can. ODAAT.

I know I know. The spikes are Language of the Heart, my AA home group, Refuge Recovery which is Buddhist based recovery, do it virtually 3x/week and live one night/week,Sober Time,Al-Anon and a meeting that came to be organically,Saturday morning meet with 5 other AA guys for coffee and accountability. I dubbed it New Tradition. That combo works for me . 361 days clean. Wish you the best.

You’ve got this. Day two here and I almost ordered a drink when out to dinner, then played the tape forward and ordered a soda. So glad I did. Keep coming back here, we’ll get each other through!
